They investigate the death at her home in Torrevieja of a 17-year-old girl who studied at the IES Mediterráneo

The young woman took her own life at home, and a relative notified the Civil Guard, which in principle sees no signs that she suffered bullying or harassment at the educational center she attended, although the case is still open.

A 17-year-old girl took her own life this Wednesday in Torrevieja. The young woman's body was found at her home on La Loma Street. A family member alerted the Civil Guard at midday, and the body was recovered at 6:00 PM and taken to the Institute of Legal Medicine in Alicante for an autopsy. Initial investigations have ruled out bullying as a motive, although the case remains open, and no one is willing to make definitive statements.

Sources from the Civil Guard explain to this newspaper that there are no indications of the participation of third parties or signs of violence. Everything points to it being an autolysis (suicide). Nor does it seem that for now there is clear evidence about whether something or someone would have induced the teenager to take her own life. That is, in principle, with the data that is handled for now, it is ruled out that she suffered harassment or similar events in the educational center where she studied.

The minor, of foreign parents but born in Torrevieja, attended the IES Mediterráneo in the salt city. The AMPA and the management of the institute have asked to avoid jumping to conclusions. "The center is acting with all available means, we fully trust them and that they can make this bitter pill more bearable for the entire community," they have transmitted in different WhatsApp groups.

Just a week ago, a few kilometers from the salt city, a minor climbed to the top of a bridge on the Villamatín road on the AP-7, very close to the Zenia Boulevard shopping centre in Orihuela Coast. The event kept those who were passing by the place at that time, on a busy road and at rush hour, after 1:30 p.m.

Fortunately, in just over an hour, Local Police officers and a psychologist managed to convince the young woman to get off the structure, being attended to by the health services.

So tragic...could the two incidents be the same person...

This school bullying seems to have reached epidemic proportions and it's not just in Spain. Unfortunately it has tragic outcomes for the victims. They are left with the consequences while the bullies don't seem to be challenged by schools or law enforcement. There doesn't seem to be any uniform training on how to tackle the issue. Bullies start at a young age. I put most of the blame on the parents of the bullies and the rest on the schools for allowing it to happen. Another case today from Informacion


"The National Police have referred the case of the harassment and knife attack suffered by a 13-year-old student at the Azorín high school in Petrer to the Juvenile Prosecutor's Office, as confirmed by INFORMACIÓN. The minor has a recognized physical disability of 33% and uses a wheelchair "
